i feel like the setup building thing has to be a general engineer change that was just formatted wrong, it makes no sense to tie it to a specific weapon

TF2 is suddenly detecting my ps4 controller and as soon as I join a game it locks out my mouse so I can't navigate menus (like picking a team), any idea how to disable this without just unplugging my controller every time I boot the game up

that's not actually that much more than usual, if you check steamcharts for the past while seeing ~58k was pretty common. i'm wondering what things will be like over the weekend though, if TF2 managed to get 100k+ id lose my mind

This is TF2 still right? Where the Soldier is be far the best class in the game in every situation but no one wants to touch him because comp players will throw a big blubbery fit?

This new gun is a mid range rocket launcher with no reload, faster firing speed, and a projectile so loving big you can't see poo poo while its shooting at you.

it doesnt splash

the new pyro weapon has basically zero similarities to the rocket launcher beyond "it's a projectile"

re: crits I kinda feel like the #1 reason they still exist is because Valve would have to rebalance a lot of weapons where that is the only downside

i think crits still exist because the only way the 4 engies huddled up in the corner on Badwater are going to die is to a crit roller landing at their feet, since no way in hell are people going to play medic, let alone organize a good uber push in 80% of servers

this update gave pyro literally zero tools for dealing with engineer, just build a sentry somewhere. you even live a Dragon's Fury 2-hit if you have baby sentries, but you can basically play Fun Police right now with a level 3 put pretty much anywhere on the map

payload is inherently boring in league because someone needs to be The Cart Fucker, and i imagine it's even worse in payload race. Also the cart spends a significant amount of time right by the enemy's spawn and, based on my comp ctf experience, that's always a disaster

the lag thing sucks but it's super common for any game or stream celeb to get trolled or have a bunch of people try to stream snipe them, ESPECIALLY in games where you can just join whatever server you want. Dane mentioned in one of his videos that competitive mode would be one of the best possible things that could exist for streamers because random people can't just join your game to get on stream, and most people don't want to waste their ELO on trolling.

So what you're saying is, Overwatch was designed by scrubs who were mad that scouts kept killing them.

long shot, but does anyone have a very old tf2 frag video from an EU team where there was a lot of skybox editing? i can't remember who made it or which team it was, but there were two halves and one of them had "Lollipop" by mika as the song. the whole tone was very peppy. this would have been like 2010-ish i think? i'm not sure if it even exists anymore but i thought about it earlier today and its driving me crazy trying to find it

the idea of just saying "yeah i'll play a round of tf2" and being able to just do that without joining midway through a game is soooo good -- plus the antibot and being able to bring along a group of friends, this sounds exactly like what I've been craving; and no other current pvp fps that already has these features is very good imo

The tf2lobby days were great and while this isn't exactly the same it's still cool

a friend of mine just got a trade offer for his alien swarm hat, $200 worth of keys. apparently there's some bug with how the paint on them works but google isn't finding anything and all the listings I see are for basically nothing, any idea what happened?

Maybe, but he actually got the keys and has sold most (maybe all by now) of them for around $200.

well mystery solved:



quote:

Basically when they released new team colored paints in 2011, something went wrong with the initial release and resulted in some items ending up like this where they only have blue paint and no red paint. To my knowledge, no one knows exactly why it happened, but it is very rare and extremely hard to track down items like this. In game, the item also only shows half paint and the paint only works on blu team. On red team, the item appears unpainted.
In terms of the effect it has on the item in game it's somewhat lame but in terms of glitch collecting I consider it one of the most interesting bugs, which is why I'm devoting such a ridiculous amount of time to tracking them down.
